Struck some gold on ebay tonight

[the Aerialist]

N2O for the win ...

the 372 so far is gonna be running on 110 octane race fuel so get some because uncle lee is gonna be pissed when he finds out you fudged up his snowmobile motor trying to put it on a chainsaw.

plus hew are you gonna get to lift that thing i see how you climb trees with the ladder and the set pole I'm gonna be able to hold a heavier saw.

you better get that thing made out of carbon fiber

in all seriousness the 110 octane race fuel is a go so far. you can buy it at the racetrack by your house PMS motor speedway

We're gonna burn nitro and nitrous oxide injection. The saw gets the nitro and I get the N2O on a face mask to get me up the ladder. I'll be laughing all the way to the top!

you better leave that snowmobile intact so you can use it to haul that 40 foot ladder around i wouldn't even wanna try to carry one of those for any distance even smaller ladders are awkward as all hell.

Hey Mr. negative. I've done really well running used saws, to the point where not only did I use them all for at least one full year, I turned around and sold them when I was done with them for a profit. If you keep your eyes peeled, and know what you're looking at, there's no problem buying used saws. I partially agree with your point of being able to buy a 6 figure unit, and not buying new saws, only because at that level, the gross income of the business must be such that there is a large allowance for tax write offs, but it still doesn't negate the usefulness, and cost effectiveness of purchasing a used saw.

And this is just one reason I don't mess with buying used saws.

I guess if I were looking to rebuild, rebuild and collect then I would but I still would be leary about buying from the internet. How do you know the thing isn't stolen? Hell Matt, you are probably buying Arbor Pro's stuff.

I read not long ago an estimated 50% of the saws sold on Craig's List are stolen.

I started with used saws, got them from the same shop where I got my new ones. There is no chance of any funny business which is priority for me. All my saws have been registered.

and if it was arbo pro's i would give it back to him and not ask for a cent back thats the kinda guy i am.

read the thread the saw is being sent off to stump he is gonna turn it into a race saw i don't wanna buy a new saw for this its a waste of money.

its gonna run 110 octane be ported piston mods the whole nine yards go cart motor parts everything.

nice thats not to far from me what did you end up buying? i ran street bikes up their in my teens. me and the dad usually take a fishing trip to quebec once a year but now its turned into every other.

their definitely are deals to be had especially when you know what your looking at most of those blown up saws to me look like easy fixes.

 

[mattfr12]

I've been running stock chainsaws for over 10 years. now i figured what the hell lets put some hp to a few of them and have fun with them.

it doesn't really cost an arm and a leg to do this for a decent mod stump charges 250.00

to get running like the 372 is its gonna cost a little more but compared to the $$ i put in my chevy duramax this wouldn't have bought my injectors.

SC252 with 10 hours on it. I ran one for the last couple years, but parted ways with the guy I was working with who owned it. So I had to get one. It does just about everything around here and can get into back yards. I know it takes a little longer to do the bigger ones, but I am familiar with it and know how to use it efficiently! I am sure it will do me good, and be with me for a long time. Well you should divert and take a fishing trip to Ontario! Fish here speak english! lol! No offense to the french of course!

252s are nice little machines got to run one a lot from the rental companies. but the ones i got to use where always so beat the one smoked so bad people thought it was on fire.
i wouldn't mind having one with good teeth on them they can be very productive.

and about the french up their i swear every time i went into a convenience store they gave me the wrong change on a drink or something. we went to ontario one time a place called Duncan lake was pretty cool about a hour boat ride and you stayed on an island it was so long ago over ten years I'm pretty sure it was ontario.

Oh don't flatter yerself. You think I am humping your back but I am only stating my thoughts. You are putting more into it than there is so maybe you should lighten up? I dunno but I do know I ain't Mr. Holden Wood. Nah, I was just impressed.

no what i mean is worrying about if I'm getting a bad deal or not its under control.

 

[Iustinian]

we truthfully have enough saws that it doesn't matter but was kinda having fun buying some on ebay never did it before don't even have feedback yet. to say i have 25-30 stihl chainsaws would be a very conservative estimate.

ya, it gets very addictive watching and bidding on saws, especially if you're a chainsaw junkie. It really seems like some of the parts saws on ebay have been really breaking the bank though.

There's still new 200T's around though too, so if you really love that saw, you might hunt for the last new ones too.

 

[superjunior]

my local saw shop still has one or two left sitting on the shelf.

Well, honesty, I am not really worried about you, I am worried about me. Like i said, don't flatter yourself. What? You think I am looking out for you? What? Is that my job? Hell, everytime I tried to hook up with Ebay it was a fiasco. I have no idea how you guys made it work, I'm terrified of it. So if it works out for you I am impressed and if it don't I will say " what did you expect?"

And I was wondering how to ship a saw. I guess you don't tell the carriers what it is? I dunno but i thought they wouldn't pick up something that had/has gas in it.

dan i order the race fuel through the mail 110 octane fuel is shipped to my house in containers through the mail you have to pay a hazmat charge. if you shipping a saw you just have to drain the gas out of it. i insured it as a chainsaw when i sent it to him.

look up VP race fuels in google they will ship it to your door even ethanol if you want. i reload rifles and order all my gun powder through the mail.

20.00 extra dollars on the postage for hazmat

Sounds crazy. I don't do a whole lot of mail order, luckily I don't have to. I gotta say I don't think i would want any of the Fedex, UPS or USPS handling any of that stuff.

I did recently order a electric motor for a salt spreader, came UPS. There was no packing material in the box and the output shaft was sticking out the side of the box, it was bent. I called them, they said " no returns on electrical parts, says so on the invoice". I looked all over that invoice but it didn't say that. I ended up driving 1/2 hour one way, spending twice what the mail order company charged but i got a working motor. Like I said, I don't know how you do it but if you do I'm impressed.
